Obafemi Awolowo University ICT centre was one of the venues JAMB approved for the mock exam, but according to Dr Sururah Bello, the Centre Coordinator, OAU ICT, the exam could not hold after the non-teaching staff stormed the centre.

Sururah said the striking union members were aggrieved due to the fact that the Joint Action Committee, an umbrella body of the three unions, declared that the earned allowance earlier given to the management should be withdrawn.
